back in the saddle bullets.

Since the last time:

Ohio State finally killed the SEC curse. The rest of the conference? Not so much.

With a win against a suddenly hot Penn State team on Saturday, Ohio State’s basketball team will likely take over the No. 1 spot in the polls. That’s not a huge deal in basketball, but it’s still pretty cool.

I have worked. A bunch.

I have a new blogging home. Don’t worry — I’m not leaving Uncle Crappy behind, but I’m pretty excited about the opportunity. And I’ll tell you about it in a day or two.

Because we’re hosting my parents this weekend, and I’m not spending a whole lot of time with the internets. We celebrated Christmas Eve Thursday — crabcakes and filets — Christmas this morning — presents and a pancake breakfast — and Mom’s birthday tonight.

Which meant we had dinner at Point Brugge. Two words: Carbonnade Flamande. Two more words: Holy shit.

While we were putzing around Walnut Street this afternoon, Mrs. Crappy snuck in Prantl’s and picked up some birthday dessert — a bunch of little cupcake things that we stuck candles in and served in the place of cake.

The candles meant Mom just turned 14.

And then we thumped Mom and Dad playing Trivial Pursuit.

OK, maybe “thumped” isn’t the right word, but we’re on a two-game win streak here.

Miles is not happy about having visitors.

I’m waiting on the Grandhog to send me the proclamation so we can get this Groundhog thing rolling.
